Howdy,

our group is considering the purchase of several laptops
for home and travel use.  We are looking at models in the
in the US$2,500 to 3,500 range, such as the NEC Versa 2000C
and some of the TI Extensas.  Basic characteristics: active
matrix display, 500+ Mb hard disk, 486 DX4 75+ MHz, 16Mb RAM.

We want to run X windows on them, and use them to connect
to our UNIX systems via external (probably) ISDN modems.

Aside from the pitifully small screen, are there any 
counterindications to using these machines as X terminals?
Has anybody tried?  When refreshing an xterm window, will
it have enough power to sustain the 56 or 112 Kbit/s data
rate on its serial port, and update the screen?  I am sure
the processor is plenty fast, but I am wondering about the
serial interface and video accelerator.

Thanks a lot  ---Luigi
